Abstract

Description

ORGANISED UNDER THE LAWS OF GERMANY, OF WEISMiiLLERSTRASSE 45, D-6000 FRANKFURT AM MAIN 1, GERMANY.
(C) Copyright 1997, Government of Ireland.
Octadecvl-Γ2-(N-methvlpiperidino)-ethvll-phosphate and a process for its preparation European patent application 108,565 relates to compounds of 5 general formula O R2 l N +/ 3 R1 (0) n-P-OCH,CH,N-R3 I. \4 O R4 and their pharmaceutically acceptable salts where Rx is an aliphatic hydrocarbon radical with 8-30 carbon atoms, the radicals R2, R3 and R4 are the same or different and are hydrogen or lower alkyl radicals or where the group NR2R3R4 represents a cyclic ammonium group and n has the values 0 or 1. These compounds are said to have an anti-tumour effect and a fungus-inhibiting effect.
The invention relates to octadecyl-[2-(N-methylpiperidino)ethyl]-phosphate, processes for its preparation and medicaments containing this compound as active substance. The compound of the invention surprisingly has a very much better or more advantageous anti-tumour effect than the compounds described or mentioned in European application 108,565.
In addition, the compounds of the invention cause inhibition of blood platelet aggregation and, in addition, have a phospholipase-A2-inhibiting and lipoxygenase-inhibiting effect.
The invention also relates to a new, improved method of preparation and working up of octadecyl-[2-(Nmethylpiperidino)-ethyl]-phosphate (process a).
It has surprisingly been found that the process of the invention achieves a higher total yield and a purer product, although one less purification step is used than in the previously known process for alkylphosphocholines. What is more, less solvent is used here. The new process of the invention also avoids the use of alkylating reagents such as dimethyl sulphate which lead, through the use of potassium carbonate as an auxiliary base, to an excessively high potassium content of the product. The potassium content must be kept as low as possible in substances used as pharmaceutically active substances.
In addition the time-consuming chromatography step is no longer needed for purification purposes.
The product purity achieved according to the new process is higher than in the known process for the preparation of alkylphosphocholines, and in addition it produces higher yields (in particular in larger-scale preparation).
The first step of process a) consists in reacting phosphorus oxychloride with N-octadecyl alcohol optionally in the presence of halogenated hydrocarbons, saturated cyclic ethers, acyclic ethers, saturated hydrocarbons with 5 to 10 carbon atoms, liquid aromatic hydrocarbons which may also be substituted by halogen (in particular chlorine) or mixtures of the above mentioned solvents, optionally in the presence of a basic substance conventionally used herefor.
Halogenated hydrocarbons that may for example be used are hydrocarbons with 1 to 6 carbon atoms where one or several or all hydrogen atoms are replaced by chlorine atoms. It is for example possible to use methylene chloride, chloroform, ethylene chloride, chlorobenzene, dichlorobenzene. If a halogen-substituted aromatic hydrocarbon is used, these are preferably substituted with one or two halogen atoms.
Saturated cyclic ethers that may be used are for example ethers with a ring size of 5-6 which consist of carbon atoms and one or two oxygen atoms.
Examples thereof are tetrahydrofuran, dioxan.
The acyclic ethers consist of 2 to 8 carbon atoms and are liquid.
The following may for example be used: diethyl ether, diisobutyl ether, methyl-tert.-butyl ether, diisopropyl ether.
Saturated hydrocarbons that may be considered are unbranched and branched hydrocarbons which consist of 5 to 10 carbon atoms and are liquid. Pentane, hexane, heptane, cyclohexane may for example be considered.
Aromatic hydrocarbons that may for example be considered are benzene and alkyl-substituted benzenes, where the alkyl substituents consist of 1 to 5 carbon atoms.
Basic substances that may be considered both for the reaction of phosphorus oxychloride with the n-octadecyl alcohol and also for the subsequent reaction with the n-methyl-piperidinoethanol salt are amines, for example aliphatic amines of formula NR^RjI^, where Rlr R2 and R3 are the same or different and represent hydrogen or C^-Cg-alkyl or also aromatic amines such as pyridine, picoline, quinoline.
For the reaction with the N-methyl-piperidino-ethanol salt it is possible to add the basic substance required herefor at the same time or also before the N-methyl-piperidino-ethanol salt. For this reaction a solvent is needed in any case; in other words if the first reaction step is conducted without a special solvent, one has to be added at this stage. The Mol ratio of phosphorus oxychloride to the octadecyl alcohol is for example between 1.5:1 to 1:1.
The N-methyl-piperidino-ethanol salt is for example used in excess in relation to the n-octadecyl alcohol (about l.l - 1.5 molar excess).
If the reaction of the phosphorous oxychloride with the n-octadecyl alcohol occurs in the presence of a basic substance, the amount of the basic substance is for example 1 to 3 Mol related to 1 Mol POC13. For the subsequent reaction with the piperidine salt 1 the amount of basic substance used is for example 1 to 5 Mol related to 1 Mol alkanol.
The reaction temperature of the reaction of phosphorus oxychloride with n-octadecyl alcohol is between -30°C and +30°C, preferably -15°C and +5°C, in particular -10°C and -5°C.
The reaction time of this reaction is for example 0.5 - 5 hours, preferably 1-3 hours, in particular 1.5 - 2 hours. If the reaction occurs in the presence of a basic substance, it generally takes place quickly (about 30 minutes).
The piperidine salt is then added in portions or completely. Salts of N-methyl-piperidine-ethanol that may be considered are salts with mineral acids, (such as sulphuric acid, hydrochloric acid) as well as salts with organic acids such as acetic acid, para-toluenesulphonic acid and the like.
This reaction step occurs in an inert solvent. Solvents that may be used here are the same that are used for the reaction of the phosphorus oxychloride with the n-octadecyl alcohol, if this reaction occurs in a solvent.
The basic substance is then dissolved in one of the stated solvents, or a solvent is added dropwise.
Solvents for the basic substance that are preferably used here are: halogenated hydrocarbons, saturated cyclic ethers, acyclic ethers, saturated hydrocarbons with 5 to 10 carbon atoms, liquid aromatic hydrocarbons or mixtures of the above mentioned solvents.
These are the same solvents that may be used for the reaction of the phosphorus oxychloride with the n-octadecyl alcohol. 1 piperidine salt always means N-methyl-piperidinoethanol salt Addition of the basic substance causes the temperature to rise.
Care should be taken to ensure that the temperature is maintained in a range between 0°C and 40°C, preferably 10°C to 30°C, in particular to 15°C to 20°C.
The reaction mixture is then stirred at 5°C to 3 0°C, preferably 15°C and 25°C (for example 1 hour to 40 hours, preferably 3 hours to 15 hours).
The hydrolysis of the reaction batch occurs by addition of water, it being necessary to maintain a temperature between 10°C and 30°C, preferably 15°C and 30°C, in particular between 15°C and 20°C.
The previously mentioned hydrolysis liquids may also contain basic substances. Basic substances of this kind that may be considered are carbonates and hydrogen carbonates of alkali and alkaline earth metals.
To complete the hydrolysis the mixture is then stirred for a further 0.5 hours to 4 hours, preferably 1 to 3 hours, in particular 1.5 to 2.5 hours at 10°C to 30°C, preferably at 15°C to 25°C, in particular at 18°C to 22°C.
The reaction solution is then washed with a mixture of water and alcohols (preferably aliphatically saturated alcohols with 1 to 4 carbon atoms) which may optionally also contain a basic substance.
The mixing ratio water: alcohol may for example be between 5 and 0.5, preferably 1-3 (V/V).
Basic substances for the washing liquid that may for example be considered are carbonates and hydrogen carbonates of alkali and alkaline earth metals as well as ammonia (for example aqueous ammonia). A 3% sodium carbonate solution in water is particularly preferred.
It is subsequently optionally possible to wash the reaction solution with an acid solution.
Acid washing is advantageous to remove as yet unreacted basic constituents of the reaction solution, particularly when methylene chloride is used as solvent.
The washing solution consists of a mixture of water and alcohols. Mixtures of aliphatically saturated alcohols with 1 to 4 carbon atoms are preferably used, it optionally also being possible for an acid substance to be present. The mixing ratio water:alcohol may for example be between 5 and 0.5, preferably 1-3 (V/V).
Acid substances that may for example be used as the washing liquid are for example mineral acids and organic acids, for example hydrochloric acid, sulphuric acid or tartaric acid, and citric acid. A 10% solution of hydrochloric acid in water is particularly preferred.
The mixture is then washed once more with a mixture of water and alcohols. Mixtures of aliphatically saturated alcohols with 1 to 4 carbon atoms are preferably used, it optionally being possible for a basic substance also to be present.
The mixing ratio water: alcohol may for example be between 5 and 0.5, preferably 1-3.
The washed phases are then combined and dried in the conventional manner and then the solvent is removed (preferably under reduced pressure, for example 5 to 100 mbar) optionally after addition of 150 - 1000 ml, preferably 300 - 700 ml, in particular 450 - 550 ml of an aliphatic alcohol (related to 1 Mol part by weight of dried product) . The alcohols that may advantageously be considered are saturated aliphatic alcohols with a chain length of 1 and 5 carbon atoms. This alcohol treatment is designed to remove residual water completely.
The product obtained in this manner may be purified in the conventional way (e.g. by chromatography, recrystallization).
The following, also inventive, purification process is, however, particularly preferred: The solid residue as described above is for example suspended in saturated aliphatic ketones (3-6 carbon atoms), for example acetone, butanone, methyl-tert.-butyl ketone, stirred for 1 to 4 hours, preferably 2 hours, suction filtered and dried at 20°C to 50°C in a vacuum at 5 Torr to 100 Torr.
The product pre-purified in this manner is taken up in anhydrous alcohols (Cx to C4) or in alcohols containing a maximum of 5 % by weight of water at 20°c to 60°C, preferably 40°C and insoluble constituents filtered off. Alcohols that may for example be used are methanol, ethanol, isopropanol, butanol, isobutanol. The filtrate obtained is then stirred with a mixed-bed ion exchanger, for example AmberliteR MB3 for example for 1 to 5 hours, preferably 2 hours, at 10°C to 50°C, preferably 20°C.
Instead of a mixed-bed ion exchanger it is also possible for purification to be effected successively with an acid ion exchanger and a basic ion exchanger.
Ion exchangers that may be used are all insoluble solids that contain ion-exchanging groups.
Acid ion exchangers are those which contain for example acid groups such as sulphonic acid groups, carboxyl groups. Examples are ion exchangers with sulphonic acid groups in a polystyrene matrix such as AmberliteR IR 120, DowexR HCR, DuoliteR C 20 or LewatitR S 100. Weakly acid ion exchangers are for example those base on a polyacrylic acid matrix, such as AmberliteR IRC 76, DuoliteR C 433 or ReliteR CC.
Basic ion exchangers that may for example be considered are those having on a polymer matrix (e.g. polystyrene matrix) primary, secondary, tertiary or quaternary amino groups such as Duolite* A 101, DuoliteR A 102, DuoliteR15 A 348, Duolite* A 365, DuoliteR A 375, AmberliteR IRA 67, DuoliteR A 375, AmberliteR IRA 458 and DuoliteR A 132.
Mixed-bed ion exchangers are mixtures of acid and alkaline ion exchanger resins, such as AmberliteR MB1, AmberliteR MB2, AmberliteR MB3 and AmberliteR MB6.
Other ion exchangers that may be used are listed in Ullmann's Encyclopedia of Industrial Chemistry, 5th Edition (1989), Volume A14, p. 450.
Following suction filtering of the ion exchanger resin the mixture is evaporated under reduced pressure (for example 20 Torr to 200 Torr) at 40°C to 70°C and the mixture is then recrystallized from halogenated hydrocarbons, saturated aliphatic ketones or from alcohol/ketone mixtures.
Halogenated hydrocarbons that may for example be considered for the recrystallization are hydrocarbons containing 1 to 6 carbon atoms where one or several or all carbon atoms are replaced by chlorine atoms.
It is for example possible to use methylene chloride, chloroform, ethylene chloride, chlorobenzene.
Alcohols that may be considered are saturated aliphatic alcohols with 1 to 6 carbon atoms and 1 to 3 hydroxyl groups. Ketones that may be considered are saturated, aliphatic ketones with 3 to 6 carbon atoms.
The mixing ratio alcohol:ketone is 1 to 1-5 (volume/volume).
An ethanol/acetone mixture in the ratio of 1:1 (V/V) is specially preferred.
The crystals of octadecyl-[2-(N-methyl-piperidino)-ethanol phosphate obtained are suction filtered and if necessary washed for example washed with saturated hydrocarbons containing 1 to carbon atoms. (Temperature of the washing liquid for example to 30°C).
It is also possible to obtain the compound of the invention by reacting in known manner b) a compound of formula C18H37-O-PO(°H) 2 1 or a reactable derivative of this compound with a compound of formula Z II optionally in the presence of basic substances, where Z represents hydrogen, methyl or the group -CH2-CH2-OH and the piperidine compound may also be present in the form of the N-methy1-piperidinium derivative, where in this case the positive charge is neutralized by the anion of an inorganic or organic acid and optionally methylated, or c) a compound of the formula C18H37"O-P°(°H) °"CH2CH2Y 111 where Y is chlorine, bromine or iodine is reacted with piperidine or N-methyl-piperidine and optionally methylated or d) a compound of the general formula ci8h37~o-po (°h) -o-ch2-ch2-N\ y is methylated or a compound obtained according to b) or c) is methylated.
With regard to process b): The process b) may be carried out without solvent (in this case excess of compound II) or in an inert solvent at temperatures between 0 and 180°C, preferably 18 - 120°C. Solvents that are for example suitable are: lower aliphatic alcohols (methanol), aliphatic straight-chain ethers (diethyl ether), saturated cyclic ethers (dioxan, tetrahydrofuran), aromatic hydrocarbons (toluene, benzene, pyridine), chlorinated aliphatic lower molecular hydrocarbons (CHC13, CC14), lower alkyl amides or dialkyl amides of lower molecular aliphatic carboxylic acids (dimethyl formamide, dimethyl acetamide) or also dimethyl sulphoxide, acetonitrile. The working up is carried out in known manner by hydrolysis using alcohols/water or water alone. Purification of the reaction product is effected for example by recrystallization or column chromatography. The reaction according to process b) can also be conducted in the presence of additional basic substances such as tertiary amines (N-methyl piperidine, N-methyl morpholine, N-methyl pyrolidine, quinoline, pyridine).
If the starting compound is the free acid C18H37-O-PO(OH) 2, this is activated by known condensation agents such as 2,4,6-trimethylbenzene sulphonyl chloride, 8-quinoline sulphonyl chloride, 2,4,6-isopropylbenzene sulphonyl imidazolide, 2,4,6-trimethylbenzene sulphonyl tetrazolide or dicyclohexyl carbodiimide and then reacted.
If the starting compound C18H37-O-PO(OH) 2 is present in the form of an activated derivative, this is for example compounds where both OH groups are substituted by halogen (Cl, Br, I).
The activated derivative used may for example also be a compound of formula in which case the reaction is preferably carried out in an autoclave or a stirring apparatus at a temperature between -20 to 130°C.
If the starting compound of formula II is used as a piperidinium salt, the acid ions that may be considered are: Cl, Br-, I", tosylate anion, sulphuric acid anion (HSO4", SO22-) .
With regard to process c): This reaction is conducted in known manner without solvent or in an inert solvent at temperatures between 50 to 100°C.
The solvents that may be considered are the same as for process b) : the piperidine or N-methyl-piperidine may also act in excess as solvent.
The reaction is appropriately carried out in the presence of acid-binding (halide-binding) substances such as Ag2CO3.
With regard to process d): The alkylation is for example conducted by reaction with compounds of formula MHal, AsSO2OM and SO2(OM)2, where Hal is a halogen atom (in particular chlorine, bromine or iodine) and Ar is an aromatic radical (for example a phenyl or naphthyl radical optionally substituted by one or several lower alkyl radicals and M is the methyl radical. Examples are p-toluene sulphonic acid methyl ester, dimethyl sulphate, methyl halides. The alkylation reaction is optionally carried out with addition of conventional acid-binding agents, such as alkali hydroxides, alkali carbonates, alkali hydrogen carbonates, alkaline earth carbonates, alkali acetates, tertiary amines (for example trialkyl amines such as triethylamine), pyridine or also alkali hydrides at temperatures between 0 and 200°C, preferably 40 and 140°C in inert solvents or suspension agents. Solvents and dispersing agents that may for example be considered are: aromatic hydrocarbons such as benzene, toluene, xylene; aliphatic ketones such as acetone, methyl ethyl ketone; halogenated hydrocarbons such as chloroform, carbon tetrachloride, chlorobenzene, methylene chloride; aliphatic ethers such as butyl ether; cyclic ethers such as tetrahydrofuran, dioxan; sulphoxides such as dimethyl sulphoxide; tertiary acid amides such as dimethyl formamide, N-methyl pyrrolidone, hexamethylphosphoric acid triamide; aliphatic alcohols such as methanol, ethanol, isopropanol, amyl alcohol, tert.-butanol, cycloaliphatic hydrocarbons such as cyclohexane and the like. It is also possible to use aqueous mixtures of the solvents mentioned. Working is frequently at the reflux temperature of the solvents or dispersing agents used.
The alkylation reaction components are frequently used in excess. The alkylation may also be conducted in the presence of tetraalkyl ammonium salts (in particular the halides) in combination with alkali hydroxides at temperatures between 0 100°C, preferably 20 - 80°C in an aprotic solvent or also in chloroform or methylene chloride. Aprotic solvents that may in particular be considered are: tertiary amides (dimethyl formamide, N-methyl pyrrolidone, dimethyl sulphoxide, acetonitrile, dimethoxyethane, acetone, tetrahydrofuran.
The alkylation may optionally also be conducted by first preparing an alkali compound (sodium salt, potassium salt or also lithium salt for example) from the compound to be alkylated by reacting it in an inert solvent such as dioxan, dimethyl formamide, benzene or toluene with an alkali metal, alkali hydride or alkali amides (in particular sodium or sodium compounds) or butyl lithium at temperatures between 0 and 150°C and then adding the alkylizing agent.
Instead of the listed alkylizing agents it is also possible to use other chemical equivalent agents conventionally used in chemistry (see for example also L.F. and Mary Fieser Reagents for Organic Synthesis, John Wiley and Sons. In., New York, 1967, Vol. l, pages 1303-4 and Vol. 2 page 471).
The growth inhibition index WHI is determined in the human KB tumour cell line which is transplanted in nude mice. The growth inhibition index is defined as follows: WHI = Mcontrol - Mtreatment_ x 100 % Mcontrol of the treated group or in the control group on the 14th day after treatment related to the value on the day of application. A WHI greater than 100 % means that the tumours have become smaller due to the treatment; a WHI smaller than 100%, in contrast, only shows a treatment-related slowing down in tumour growth as compared to the controls. In other words, the higher the WHI, the stronger the antitumour efficacy of a test substance.
The EC90 is determined in vitro in the same cell line. The EC90 is the concentration of substance having an antitumour effect in Mg/ml which inhibits the growth of cancer cells in vitro by 90 % in comparison to a control experiment without addition of the antitumour-acting substance.
The Cape Index (coefficient for cancer-inhibiting effects) is a measure for the high selectivity and specificity of a chemical substance vis-a-vis antitumour-acting substances. This Cape index is obtained by dividing the WHI index by the EC90 index.
This means that an effect in the animal (in vivo) is compared to the effect in an in vitro system. It has been found that the higher the coefficient formed in this manner, the more selective and effective the antitumour effect of a substance is.
The compounds of the invention display a good anti-neoplastic 10 effect in the KB tumour (human carcinoma of the buccal cavity, transplanted subcutaneously to nude mice) and in autochthonous, chemically-induced DMBA-breast gland cancer in the rat.
For example a dose of 2 x 316 mg/kg body weight of the compound of the invention, given at intervals of one week, achieved a regression of the KB tumours.
After a 14-day oral treatment with an oral dose of 21.5 mg/kg body weight of the compound of the invention daily, DMBA tumours weighing 5 g regressed to the borderline of palpability.
As shown in Table 1, the compound of the invention therefore has an antitumour efficacy that is higher and more specific by a multiple factor as compared to the compounds of similar structure. This effect was not obvious.

Dropping time: 30 minutes. After post-stirring for half an hour 37.9 (0.12 Mol) solid 2-(N-methyl-piperidino)-ethanol tosylate are added and then 40 ml pyridine are added dropwise. This causes the temperature to rise to 15°C. The ice bath is removed and the reaction mixture is stirred for 2.5 hours at room temperature. For purposes of hydrolysis 15 ml water are added dropwise within 10 minutes. After stirring for half an hour, the reaction solution is washed in each case once with 200 ml water/methanol (1:1), 200 ml 3 percent Na2CO3/methanol (1:1) and 200 ml water/methanol (1:1). The reaction solution washed in this manner is dried over Na2SO4 and evaporated in a rotary evaporator in a vacuum after addition of a little i-propanol.
The residue is recrystallized from 200 ml butanone. The wax-like product formed is filtered off and dissolved with heat in 150 ml 96% ethanol. The precipitate is filtered off and the filtrate is cooled in the refrigerator for four hours.
The precipitate is filtered off again and the filtrate mixed with 85 g Amberlite* MB3. After stirring for three hours, the ion exchanger is removed and the solution evaporated in a rotary evaporator in a vacuum. The residue is recrystallized from 150 ml butanone followed by drying in a vacuum over phosphorus pentoxide.

The starting -N-methy 1-piperidino compound may for example be prepared in the following manner: 64.59 g (0.50 mol) 2-piperidinoethanol are dissolved in 125 ml acetonitrile and mixed dropwise with cooling with a solution of 93.1 g (0.50 mol) 4-toluene sulphonic acid methyl ester in 125 ml acetonitrile within 30 minutes. The mixture is stirred for half an hour each at room temperature and under reflux. After cooling the solvent is removed in a vacuum and the residual oil is dissolved in 200 ml hot acetone. The product precipitates in crystalline form on cooling. The crystallization is completed in the ice compartment.
